Machin album cover image recommendation
Dear friends,
I am making my personal Machin stamp album and would like to place a representative image of its contents on the cover. I would like to hear some proposals from you so I'd be able to create a beautiful album cover. Any ideas are welcome. If possible, I'd appreciate also if you could provide links to public domain images, or not so public domain but that they could serve as an inspiration. Thanking you all in advance, Pedro |

Thanking you all in advance, Pedro Greetings Pedro. My suggestion for making a Maching album cover is to make a collage of Machin stamps. You could line them up like soldiers, slightly overlapping a bit. You could do the same thing but rather than all in a row place the askew. Personally, I like the collage idea but in the end it will have to be what ever pleases you. Take some used Machins, dump them on a big table, use a piece of paper the size of the album cover as a template. Play with it, have some fun and let me know what you end up with. Ralph |

Ralph Good Idea, Thank you very much Ralph. I will have to see how many used machins I have for the composition, although I think most of them are "on paper". Perhaps using them on paper in a way that paper borders are not seen could be ok too, I think. I will try to compose them on my scanner and let you all know the result. Any more suggestions please?

It was auctioned in 2008. Does anyone know how much it realized at auction? Blair |

That's a fine idea too. I am planning indeed to make 2 other albums more. One for my 8 years old nephew, and another one for a friend. I like very much Ralph's proposal and yours, and at this time, I don't know which one to get for mine. Pedro |

Images could be downloaded and with patient a collage could be composed with the help of a graphics program, but perhaps too much effort is needed. I think I will use the composition I made with the scanner and make a no-margins printing with some text overlapped. Thank you vey much for your help. Pedro |
